<script type="text/javascript">
	function sendJSRequest()
	{
		//Prime The Request Handler:
		var request = null;
		if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
			// FireFox, Safari, etc.
			request = new XMLHttpRequest();
			request.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
		}else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
			//Internet Explorer
			request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
		}else return document.write("Oops! REST Initialization Failed: Unknown Browser Type");
		
		//Await Response
		request.onreadystatechange = function() 
		{
			if (request.readyState != 4) return;
			if (request.status != 200) {
				return document.write("Oops! REST Request Failed: Could Not Retrieve Results");
			}
			document.getElementById("restResponse").value  = request.responseText;
		}
		
		//Make Request
		var url = "/search?IW_INDEX=Demo&IW_FIELD_TEXT=procedure"
		request.open("GET", url, true);
		request.send();
		
	}
</script>

C# Example

static string sendCSharpRequest(string url)
{
	HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
	string result = null;
	using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
	{
		StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
		result = reader.ReadToEnd();
	}
	return result;
}

static void Main()
{
	string xmlContent = sendCSharpRequest("http://localhost:8070/search?IW_INDEX=Demo&IW_FIELD_TEXT=procedure");
}

Java Example

public static String httpGet(String queryURL) throws IOException {
	URL url = new URL(queryURL);
	HttpURLConnection connect = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
	if (connect.getResponseCode() != 200) {
				throw new IOException(connect.getResponseMessage());
	}

	BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(connect.getInputStream()));
	StringBuilder sbuilder = new StringBuilder();
	String line;
	while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
		sbuilder.append(line);
	}
	reader.close();
	connect.disconnect();
	return sbuilder.toString();
}

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
{
			String RestXML = httpGet("http://localhost:8087/search?IW_INDEX=Demo&IW_FIELD_TEXT=procedure");
}
